Particularly troublesome is people There are people online and in real life who are convinced that just because they don’t have allergies or illnesses, it basically isn’t real. Unfortunately, and quite commonly, these types of people are what the internet calls “baby boomers.”

For those who don’t know, celiac disease is Autoimmune disorders Gluten, which causes gluten intolerance. As you probably know, gluten is one of the most common proteins found in grains. This includes bread, wheat, rye, and any food that contains barley. Although it may not be as deadly as some foods, allergyit’s still no laughing matter.
Most people with celiac disease don’t experience immediate symptoms like food poisoning, but they do suffer long-term effects. Weight loss At least, no weight gain. While this may sound like a positive for some, it’s possible that you’re below your healthy weight and have no way of reaching it. Remember, there is no cure for this disease and everyone can only abstain from gluten for the rest of their lives. live.
But at this point, the boy is likely suffering from a variety of gastrointestinal issues. Diarrhea is one of the most common symptoms, but gluten ingestion can also cause abdominal bloating, abdominal pain and even stomach aches. convulsionsIn extreme cases, the child may suffer from mouth ulcers. Remember, this is all being inflicted upon a 9-year-old boy by non-relatives simply because they think they know better.
Unfortunately, celiac disease is much more punishing than just not being able to eat bread, but that is punishment enough. People with celiac disease can suffer from depression and anxietyand other mental health issues. Overall, there are very solid reasons for a father to be angry, especially if it is done with malicious intent.

Some in the comments tossed around the word “addiction.” That might sound dramatic, but it’s true. Eating gluten may not be deadly to people with celiac disease, but it sure is very uncomfortable. After all, if someone fed you rotten chicken and it gave you diarrhea and stomach aches, you’re not going to take it as a light-hearted joke. allergy Similar symptoms can be severe and lead to medical complications.
What’s worse, this is a little boy. Most of these situations have a pretty big impact on a child who isn’t strong enough to fight back. Luckily in this story the boy was unharmed, but it’s quite possible to imagine a scenario where this wasn’t the case. This made the father’s anger over what happened entirely justified. In fact, it’s probably best that he actually wants to seek legal action, since many people would solve the problem on their own. hand.
Certainly, it’s surprising that the father hesitated to take action once all the facts were revealed. Even if it was an accident, his anger would be understandable, but this is worse. This Boomer (the father’s own choice of word) was dismissive, rude, and ultimately cruel. The father has every right to sue. After all, if this Boomer thinks he has the right to ignore other people’s dietary restrictions and allergies, who knows what kind of problems it could cause later?
The father further shared his thoughts in the comments section.
Readers were shocked by the baby boomers’ behavior and offered some suggestions.
